Chris Nicholson's Writing Weblog

The new (September 2005) issue of Esquire magazine contains an excellent humor piece by A.J. Jacobs, author of The Know-It-All: One Man's Humble Quest to Become the Smartest Person in the World.
The piece, "My Outsourced Life," is an account of a writer jumping on the off-shoring bandwagon by hiring out his life tasks, such as phoning his parents, arguing with his wife and reading to his child. Very funny, very poignant.
You can read the piece at Esquire's website, but the privilege will cost you $2.95. For a few extra coins, you can buy a copy of the magazine and read it in hard-copy.
